Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 104

[Chapter 73: “Double In One”]

Yan Ji looked at Lin Chengyou in a stunned way, and he didn’t return to God for half a day.

“How does this, how does this compare?” He laughed in surprise, “Lin Commenter and His Highness the King of the Counties are both dragons and phoenixes among people.” However, Lin Chengyou’s

tone was serious, it was serious in asking questions, Yan Si looked at him carefully, inexplicably worried, he was rigorous and accustomed, the other party seriously asked questions, even if it was a headless and brainless question, he still couldn’t help but treat it cautiously, thought about it, and thoughtfully replied with words: “Lin Comment is as handsome as a pearl, His Highness the King of the County, the wind is clear and moony, the two have their own good, but if it is a single discussion of the word ‘good-looking'”

He tilted his head back a few inches slightly, and carefully looked at Lin Chengyou: “Lin Comment’s facial features are slightly better.”

After saying this, he quietly wiped his sweat.

Lin Chengyou thought about it for a moment, and a confident smile appeared on his face, yes, he thought so too. Teng Yu had also seen the Emperor, and if she liked the Emperor, then she should be concerned about the Emperor’s affairs.

But just because of a dream, she always worried that he would have an accident in the future, in addition to entrusting people to send him messages, in order to make him pay attention to her words, she even did not hesitate to move Grandpa and XiaoYa.

Before going to bed last night, he pondered this matter for half a day, and came to the conclusion that Teng Yuyi was very concerned about his affairs. She may have liked him a long time ago.

Today Yan Sizhi said this again, he was more and more sure of this conclusion, Yan Sizhi has already married a wife, he wants to know these things very well, according to Yan Sizhi’s analysis, maybe Teng Yuyi just likes his appearance more.

Thinking like this, the pace was completely brisk, but unfortunately, most of his poison could not be solved, and he did not know how to dispel Teng Yuyi’s thoughts, alas, let her like it for the time being, and then look back to find an opportunity to let her understand this truth.

If she still insists on liking him…

Then —

he thought about it seriously, remembering that Shi Gong said that the most difficult thing in this world to figure out is “people’s hearts”, the most uncontrollable is “love”, Teng Yuyi has to like him and he can’t stop it, then let her like it.

Although Yan Sizhi answered the question in a cold sweat, but his heart silently muttered, Lin Zhishi suddenly asked such a strange question, it was really confusing, and he also asked why the little lady liked a certain Lang Jun, hey, isn’t it –

Yan Si was shocked, turned his head and looked at Lin Chengyou’s side face suspiciously, and saw Lin Chengyou’s eyes smile, as if he thought of something happy.

He was more and more surprised, Lin Commenter may be because he was young and had not yet enlightened, he had come to Dali Temple to serve for such a long time, and he had never had a fight with any little lady.

For this reason, he often lamented that the Chengwang couple taught their son well, Lin Commenter was arrogant and arrogant, but there was no habit of anointing the children of Liang, but looking at today’s situation, Lin Commenter not only asked questions without a head and no brain, but also suddenly began to care about why the little lady liked a certain Lang Jun, should it not be… The little lady of a certain family!

Lin Chengyou was distressed by Teng Yuyi’s liking for his own affairs, and suddenly felt two strange glances thrown next to him, and when he turned his head to look, he found that Yan Ji was looking at him in a confused manner.

He wondered, “What’s wrong?”

Yan Ji was stunned, I should ask this question, he quickly shook his head, pointed forward, and said, “Ah, Jinyun Waterfall is coming.”

Lin Chengyou smiled slightly, raised his eyes to look at the shop, and took the lead in entering.

In order to facilitate the investigation of the case, today Lin Chengyou and Yan Jizhi were wearing civilian clothes, and the guy looked at the appearance of the two people and greeted them warmly: “Please come in, the two princes want to tailor clothes for the lady, right?” ”

Madame?”

“The two sons don’t know? We at Jinyun Waterfall have always only made dresses for women.

Lin Chengyou said in a casual manner: “Oh, that’s right. You first find me a guest room, and by the way, bring your Lord’s house. The

main family heard the guy describe Lin Chengyou’s temperament, and expected to come to the big patron, busy putting down the work at hand, and rushed upstairs without saying a word.

“Gongzi fairy-like figure, so that Madame must not look down on ordinary clothing.” Rest assured, Chang’an City has some other homes, and the shops have them; Others don’t have it, and they all have it! The best materials in the store are all here, and the villains bet that even the most picky lady will not look down on these fabrics.

Lin Chengyou was too lazy to listen to the noise of the shopkeeper, when he heard the last few sentences, he couldn’t help but glance at the pile of cloth that was as bright as silver, and even the most picky little lady would not look down? Dare to boast.

He smiled and flatly interrupted the lord’s house: “Do you recognize Lady Rong An Bo Shizi?” The lord’s

family first ate a meal, and then showed a frightened expression: “The prince also knows about this?” A few days ago, she also came to the shop to cut clothes, and as a result, yesterday she heard about this lady… Alas…”

Lin Chengyou naturally asked, “So what kind of abnormal behavior did Mrs. Rong An Bo Shizi have when she came to your shop in the past?” The

shopkeeper was nodding his head, and suddenly looked at Lin Chengyou suspiciously, as if wondering why he inquired about these things.

Yan Si straightened out the pen and ink he had asked, and said slowly, “In the next is Yan SiZhi of Dali Temple, this is Lin Commentator, I am waiting to investigate the case.” The

shopkeeper was instantly shocked into a cold sweat, so the little prince in front of him was actually the son of the king? He dared to prevaricate again, and said busily: “If you want to talk about unusual things, this lady herself does not have it, but the little man heard the bad news yesterday and immediately remembered a strange thing.” On the seventeenth day, Mrs. Setsuko came to the shop to cut clothes. The guy suddenly told the villain that the dirty pimp was coming again, and he couldn’t get rid of it. The little man was afraid of affecting the business in the shop, so he had to go downstairs to pick people up, at this time Mrs. Shizi also picked up the fabric, and went downstairs with the villain, and as a result, the pimp saw us running, and then when Mrs. Shizi got on the car, the villain saw the pimp mixed in the pile of people, looking at the posture, as if to track Mrs. Shizi’s calf car, the villain was worried about an accident, and wanted to ask someone to remind Mrs. Shizi, but after two days, Mrs. Shizi came to the East Market to buy gouache, and the villain did not see the pimp in the pile, thinking that day was just a coincidence, The little man didn’t have much more to do. However, Mrs. Shizi had so many followers, there was really something wrong, and the people around her should have noticed it earlier. “What

does that pimp look like?”

The shopkeeper said, “It’s very short, about only up to the chin of the villain.”

Lin Chengyou and Yan Ji looked directly at each other, the shop owner was not very tall, the man only reached the store’s chin, it was almost as tall as Zhuang Mu, it seemed that the eight achievements were the murderer.

According to this, this person had also followed Xiao Jiang’s habits for a period of time before he started, otherwise he would not be so familiar with Xiao Jiang’s habits, and it was precisely because he had accurately touched the time of Xiao Jiang’s stay everywhere in advance that he finally decided to lay out and start at the spice shop in Xishi.

“What’s so unusual about that pimpy appearance?”

“Wearing a felt hat and a dirty face.” The boss thought back carefully, “Speaking of this, I remember that one year a little man went to Guanwai to buy fabrics, and met an official in the inn, and the official said that it is common for people walking on the rivers and lakes to change their appearance, but no matter how they change their appearance, a pair of hands and a pair of eyes cannot be changed.” The villain remembered this, and later every time he went out to buy and walk, he would look at the jianghu people who were traveling like this. That day the little man was afraid of this pimp stealing shop things, specially paid attention to his hands, his hands were strangely dirty, strange nails were cut very short, right, his hand bone joints were very thick, the palms were very large-”

The shopkeeper said, “Probably so big.” Such

a short head, but with such a large pair of hands, is either born with a different bone, or practices for many years.

As for the short nails… Hands can be temporarily stained, but nails cannot grow temporarily.

Maybe this person is used to cutting his nails short on weekdays.

A person who even pays attention to the timely trimming of his nails, and is clearly pampered, how can he be a pimp in the city?

Lin Chengyou: “You just said ‘that pippi is here again’, meaning he has come before?” Shopkeeper

: “No, last month this pimpy skin was dangling at the door, but that day it only flashed away, not like the one who stayed outside the door for as long as the first time.” “Which

day was that last month?” What customers are there in the store? The

shopkeeper shook his head: “I can’t remember.”

Lin Chengyou: “There is a guest named Shu Liniang, you should always remember that last month she came to cut clothes, and a few days ago she asked the tailor lady in your shop to send clothes to the door.” “Chun

An Lane that?” The shopkeeper nodded hesitantly, “Remember! Remember! The villain secretly guessed that this Lady Shu was the wife of a foreign tycoon, because it was less than a month before and after, and she spent nearly ten thousand dollars just to cut clothes. Last month, I made a bunch of clothes, and not long after I asked the people in our shop to send another batch of clothing, the little people couldn’t ask for it, but last month those new clothes were not worn several times, which is really too -”

Lin Chengyou said coldly: “You and the tailor don’t know that this lady is pregnant?” The

shopkeeper exclaimed, “Pregnant? No wonder that’s the case.

Lin Chengyou looked down and thought, it can be seen that Shu Liniang is not as flamboyant as Xiao Jiang’s, she never mentions that she is pregnant when she walks around on weekdays, and she is only three months pregnant, her body shape should not be able to see much, Zheng Shujie is secretive about this relationship, it is impossible to publicize everywhere, how does the murderer know that Shu Liniang is pregnant?

He thought for a moment and then asked, “Shu Li niang came on the eleventh day of last month, and that pimp could have swung at the door that day?” The

shopkeeper smiled bitterly and shook his head: “I can’t remember, there are too many customers in the store every day, and the villain can remember everything.”

“You can even tell the story of this pimpy look, and you should remember that he appeared at the door of the store a few times.”

The shopkeeper was quite sure: “The little man has seen it twice, once on the seventeenth day and once on a certain day of the previous month.”

Lin Chengyou touched his chin: “When Mrs. Shu came to the shop, did you talk to the guests next to you?” For example, “A long time is not long” and “how come you came to Chang’an” and other old words. The

shopkeeper secretly felt that this was strange: “No, this Lady Shu is alone every time.” “Have

you ever seen her talk to Xiao Jiang?”

The shopkeeper shook his head like a rattle: “I haven’t seen it again.” These two ladies have never had a female companion except for the next person, Lady Shu should have been in Chang’an for a long time, so she had no friends, and the strange thing is that Mrs. Rong An Bo Shizi is also like this, speaking of this, I have heard others talk about a few words -”

“Oh?” Lin Chengyou smiled, “What are you talking about?”

“Say Mrs. Shizi—” The shopkeeper hesitated and smiled awkwardly, “the villain is not going to talk about the guests behind his back, but these things may help solve the case.” They all said that the other ladies of the family did not look up to this Lady Shizi, so they did not have much contact with her. Unlike the lady in front of Rong Amber House, there were not many people who came, but there was never a shortage of family ladies around her. Lin Chengyou’s

eyes fluttered slightly: “Have you seen the Great Jiang Clan?”

“Of course I’ve seen it, and we’ve been operating in Dongshi for years.” In front of this big Jiang clan sometimes accompanied the mother-in-law to tailor clothes, sometimes with the good bridesmaids, the little people listened to them talking, they knew that those ladies liked the big Jiang clan, the little people also thought, Rong Amber House has such a decent housekeeper, how to worry about the future prestige is not high. Later, when I heard that this lady had passed away, the little man also felt sorry. By the way, at that time, Rong An Bo Shizi also often accompanied his wife to the shop to make clothes, but he never came again in recent years.

Lin Chengyou and Yan Ji went straight out of the East Market, and Yan Ji thought straightly: “This is also too coincidental, the fake ‘Splash Skin’ appears twice, once to stalk Xiao Jiang’s family, and the other time to stalk Shu Liniang?”

Lin Chengyou thought for a moment and smiled, “Let me guess, the murderer followed for a while, and found that he really couldn’t find the opportunity to kill Shu Liniang outside, and He was anxious to feed the second Yueshuo Tongjun, so he had to do it in her house?” Yan

Ji was shocked: “What does Lin mean by this that the murderer is more willing to do something outside?”

Lin Chengyou smiled: “This person’s eye on Xiao Jiang and Shu Liniang shows that he doesn’t even know what bad things they have done in the past, and how can someone who knows each other’s details not know where they live?” Before starting to start, he took a lot of trouble to stalk, just to find out where the two of them went on a daily basis, doesn’t this show that he has been calculating where to start? Perhaps the murderer did not think about taking the fetus in the victim’s home in the first place. Turning

his head to look at Yan Jizhi, he patiently explained: “This point is easy to say in Xiao Jiang’s body, Rong’an BoFu is heavily guarded, even if it is a top master, it is impossible to make a perfect round in Bofu, so the murderer stalked Xiao Jiang’s clan for a period of time, and finally decided to lay out in the spice shop.”

Yan Ji was stunned: “But the murderer has also stalked Shu Liniang, and the house in Chun’an Lane has only six masters and servants, so isn’t it easier to get the fetus directly in Shu Liniang’s house than to do it in the crowded fang city?”

Lin Chengyou pondered and said, “The words are correct, but the murderer still stalked Shu Liniang outside for a while before he started to move, indicating that he did not want to do anything in Shu Liniang’s house unless he had to.” Yan

Ji was puzzled: “Why is this?”

Lin Chengyou smiled meaningfully: “Since this person is meticulous, he must exclude all clues that can be found before he starts.” Just now you also heard, even the tailor did not know that Shu Liniang was pregnant, it can be seen that she made clothes to make clothes, but never mentioned this matter to outsiders, but the murderer not only knew that she was not a kind, but also accurately knew that she was pregnant, so it is speculated that this person has been in contact with Shu Liniang in the past three months, that is, after Shu Liniang is pregnant, and may even come to Chun’an Lane in recent days, as to why she refuses to do it in Chun’an Lane——”

Lin Chengyou said, “Maybe it’s because I know that even if you use the finest incense to charm people, you may be bumped into by Shu Liniang’s neighbors when you escape, and if you do it outside, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Yan Ji thought straight back and forth, and gradually revealed a look of trance: “Yes, the face can be transfigured, but the shape of the body cannot be changed.”

Lin Chengyou was silent for a moment, more and more sure of his guess, so he followed the train of thought and said: “If the neighbor accidentally sees the figure of the murderer when he escapes, he will soon be able to think of this person.” The murderer will have such a concern, which can only mean… He is an acquaintance of Shu Liniang, and recently came to Chun’an Lane, not only Shu Liniang’s master servant knows the murderer, but the neighbors around him also know this person, so our previous thinking was wrong, Xiao Jiang is not the key to solving the case, Shu Liniang is. Yan Sizhi’s

spirit was lifted, and Shu Liniang had only one relative in Chang’an.

“So we’re looking for it now—”

“Shu Changshi.” Lin Chengyou said coldly, shaking the reins, and the horses flew out like arrows.

The two rushed to Jingzhao Province, Jingzhao Fu Yin and Shao Yin were not there, the officials at the bottom personally greeted out, heard that Lin Chengyou had come to find Shu Wenliang, Wei Wei said: “Looking for Shu Changshi? He didn’t come to Yamen today on his ten-month leave.

Lin Chengyou asked Qing Shu Wenliang’s address, and then asked, “Is this Shu Changshi tall?” “Extremely

short.”

“How short is it?”

Officials wondered and confused, still comparing themselves to their chests: “Only so high.” Yan

Ji nao and Lin Chengyou looked at each other.

One of the officials laughed and said, “Speaking of this, Shu Changshi was still wronged because of this, and I heard that he had originally won the Jinshi fifteen years ago, but as a result, he was screened out because of his ugly character when he participated in the official system, and he was arrogant and talented, so he ran to Huaixi Province to serve as an aide to General Peng, and it was not until two years ago that he returned to Beijing to take up his post at the recommendation of General Peng.”

“So?” Lin Chengyou raised his eyebrows, “Thank you for informing.”

Zhongma left Jingzhao Mansion, but instead of rushing to Shu Mansion, he dismounted at the nearest gate, found the nearby Wuhou and the undesirables, and took the goldfish bag around his waist: “Immediately go to the left and right leading guards to send a message, immediately seal the city gate, today there are important criminals to be arrested, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.” “What’s

going to be done?”

“Extremely short. Men and women do not know, but the face must have been transfigured, and it must be very careful when checking. As long as you see a person who has made a transfiguration and a short head, you will buckle it down first. If that person claimed to be Shu Changshi, he would not be mistaken. By the way, this person is not bad in hand and understands magic, and when arresting people, beware of being plotted by him.

“Yes.” The Wu princes took the order and left.

After arranging all this, Lin Chengyou and Yan Ji rushed straight to Shu Mansion, where there were only a few old men who guarded the door, and they rushed out: “The old man took the friend’s post, and just took his wife and mother out of the city, saying that he was going to rest in the other business of the friend of The River for a few days, and he didn’t go far.”

Yan Ji was so angry that he punched a punch, in the end it was a step too late, fortunately, Lin Comment had already made a deployment in advance just now, and perhaps it was too late to stop this person.

Lin Chengyou asked the old servant, “What is the name of that friend?” The

old servant shook his head straightly: “The old slave doesn’t know.” The

two of them walked out of the alley in front of shu mansion together, and Yan Ji asked in a straight voice, “Where are we going now?”

Lin Chengyou said: “These pregnant women in the city have basically been recorded, and the murderers can only go out of the city to retrieve the fetus, so I immediately went into the palace and asked Brother Yan to go to Dali Temple to find the files of the “evil party case” fifteen years ago. “Evil

Party Case?” Yan Ji was surprised and inexplicable.

Lin Chengyou pondered and said, “The murderer knows how to collect the Yueshuo Tongjun, and he also knows how to awaken the endurance, indicating that he himself knows very much about occult arts, plus these recent cases, it can be seen that these evil arts have comeback signs, I always feel that it is related to the great cleaning of the imperial court fifteen years ago, maybe it was the group of evil ways that were doing evil, I had to go into the palace to ask my uncle what happened in those years, Yan Si Zhiruo found the file of that year, Hurry up and get someone to the palace to send me a message. The

two men parted hands in front of the Shunyi Gate, and Lin Chengyou continued to rush to the palace, even though he met Kuan nu in the middle of the road, Kuan Nu came up with a group of guards, as if he had been looking for the little master for a long time: “My good son, after looking for most of the city, I finally found you.”

Lin Chengyou tightened the reins: “What, did you find it?”

Kuan Nu whispered closely, “We followed Grand Duke Zheng in the morning, and we didn’t see which woman or lady he went to look for, would Shizi think too much, Grand Duke Zheng may just be surprised by the ferocity of the murderer, so he asked more last night.”

Lin Chengyou touched his chin, Zheng Yan let him run errands in the ceremonial department during the day, and after returning to the house, he was also busy with the engagement of the martial family lady, and he was busy every day, would he have the heart to inquire about these things?

No, it’s better to be cautious.

“What results can I get in the morning, then give it to me.” Lin Chengyou glanced at Kuan Nu, “By the way, did you check the few drug shops that you asked you to check the day before, and have any women come to secretly buy abortion pills recently?”

Kuan Nu patted his chest, “Rest assured. After the day before the world said this, the small ones have checked one by one, recently there are thirty-seven ladies in the city in the drug store to buy this medicine, in addition to a few unmarried and pregnant little women, most of them are pingkang fang secret prostitutes, the small ones found the lower part of these women, and then specially found a stable mother to the door, thirty-seven women have taken medicine, at present have slipped tires … Coupled with the interrogations of the servants, martial princes, and bad people of the Dali Temple in front of them for several days, there will definitely be no unregistered pregnant women in the city. It seems

that there will be no more “fish that slip through the net”, but the patience and the ability of the murderer are not insignificant, Lin Chengyou racked his brains and thought about it, frowning and pondering: “You think about it again, what kind of pregnancy women usually have without saying.”

Kuan Nu said with a bitter face, “How can the small one know?” The younger one has never married a relative, and this kind of thing is no better than the son of the world.

Lin Chengyou: “Stupid, don’t you know to ask The Commander-in-Chief?” I am now hurrying into the palace, you will go back to ask the commander-in-chief, the rest continue to stalk in the major medicine shops, if someone sneaks over to buy medicine, immediately go to the Dali Temple to send a letter to Yan Jizhi. ***

Teng Yuyi returned to Li Baixuan, originally wanted to change into men’s clothes to practice sword, considering that there were too many eyes and ears in the temple, he had to dispel the idea, and the negative hand turned around twice in the courtyard, seeing that the spring was delayed, it was really boring, and decided to go to the room to sleep first.

He went back to his room and lay down on the bed, just closed his eyes, remembered what the Absolute Saint and Ren Zhi had said in the morning, and turned over and sat up again.

Hey, I don’t know who the little lady who went out privately last night was, knowing that The Endurance might break into the Great Hidden Temple at any time, and that person also dared to sneak out, wasn’t he afraid of being eaten by the Tolerance Halfway?

She asked herself if she was bold enough, but she didn’t dare to go out alone late at night these days, so it was strange to think about it.

Thinking back to the last time she was turned into a puppet by the corpse evil, she gradually became uneasy, yesterday Lin Chengyou and the officials of Dali Temple have been busy looking for the murderer, but unfortunately the murderer is too cunning for the time being, do you want to tell Lin Chengyou about this matter? Maybe it’s a breakthrough.

Last time Xiao Ya said that she had to rely on the exorcism of demons to crack the disaster of life, but this time the endurance mana was too terrible, she felt that the head-on confrontation was not to think, so she did not dare to move her thoughts, but if she could help the exorcism to rub a little merit of exorcism, maybe she could get rid of the unfortunate situation of being entangled by evil spirits all day as soon as possible. After all, weight tolerance is not an ordinary evil.

With these thoughts, she began to think seriously about it.

Last night the Holy One and the Renunciation only saw the man’s big cloak…

Big cape… She thought about it for half a moment, simple, there were only a few ladies in the temple, although she only saw this, she was barely enough. But to figure out who that person is, you have to set up a game first.

She made up her mind and got out of bed and called, “ChunRong, help me call Duan Fu in.”

Later, when Duan Fu came, Teng Yuyi paced in the courtyard while making arrangements: “Bi Luo, you go and send a message to the four ladies in the east wing… When you see them, you do what I say; ChunRong, you go to the Scripture Cabinet to find two trail chiefs; Duan Fu, when I have confirmed one thing, you asked people to quickly go to Dali Temple to find Lin Chengyou, and if he is not there, he will entrust Yan Sizhi, in short, you must bring my words word for word. ***

Lin Chengyou entered the palace and was told that the emperor’s uncle met several courtiers at the Hanyuan Palace, and the emperor heard that Lin Chengyou had come to hand over the words, and asked Lin Chengyou to wait for his uncle at the empress’s place, saying that he would come later.

Lin Chengyou saw that the news had not yet been delivered outside the palace, and he knew that the four people and horses had been sent out, and no matter how anxious they were, they could only wait patientlySo he left the Hanyuan Hall and went to the Empress’s Bedchamber, and as soon as he entered the door of the palace, he saw the Empress holding Changyi and Ah Zhi in her arms, smiling and squinting at the two children to choose jewelry.

Lin Chengyou’s gaze fell on the step shake in the queen’s hand, and suddenly remembered that yesterday Teng Yuyi said that she had lost a step shake and lost it in the underground palace, and she didn’t know if she could get it back, just thinking, Ah Zhi and Chang Yi jumped from the queen’s leg happily.

“Brother!”

The queen was also surprised: “In the morning, your uncle still nagged you, it was just right, come and pick out the jewelry.” Don’t hold on, your aunt knows you don’t have a favorite little lady, this is for your two sisters. ”
